My wife and I don't have kids, so no worries there. We normally get ourselves a gift; something we both will enjoy. Last year it was a huge flat-screen and a Kindle Fire. This year so far has been a nice tent for camping and some camping gear. Otherwise, I'll get my sis and her kids some stuff, my parents some stuff, and give away homemade wine and preserves to friends and associates. Budget for my sis and kids is about $300 and my parents get a couple Willie Nelson tickets, balcony seats which, after the fucking fees wound up being $144 plus whatever the cab ride will be from my house.

I'm sure my paps will insist I give him 20 bucks for the cab ride and then simply find a free parking spot a mile from the venue. He's half-Jew. Seriously.

Ticket fees are one of my major peeves. I just bought a cheap seat , up in the gods, for the Bon Jovi tour. The ticket was 26.00 and FEES were an additional 15.00! I could understand maybe 10% of the ticket price but over 50%??? Sheesh!
